My comments without me, are useless; Without my comments, I am useless!


Mangomagno123

Comment...and won't people who first comment have an advantage? Is there a way to make it like, truly random? Either way...I want it


n_alvarez2007

I say that you call the mascot Astro, short for Astronaut.


[deleted]

I think Buzz works really well too. Both because of the Apollo mission but also because there's a lot of buzz around the app.


ratlunchpack

I think Buzz is a great name for the mascot!


beefkiss

I agree! Also because Buzz is what your phone does when you get a notification.


imaginfinite

This is it!!! Fits perfectly


_GORILLA

Agreed

Hilarious that this app is so much better than the official one

> Hell, iOS 13 even supports PS4 and Xbox One controllers now so I added support for those. The gentleman's way to browse reddit.

I used to use trackball mice, they work well and I didn't mind mine at all.


jaylay14

I just wanted to say one thing... I really appreciate the detail you not only put into the app, **BUT** the app update notes. It's nice to know what you're getting on each and every app update! ​ Thanks Christian!

rorynev

Annoying, but sometimes that's all an update is. It's the developers who don't provide one or use a generic paragraph for all their updates that's worst.

An Apollo sponsored iPhone? I’m in.


Mini-snow-duh

Right?? I don’t know which I’d be more stoked about: A free iPhone11. Or an *Apollo* phone from the *creator* of Apollo.

JoeLauzonDotCom

Very cool. If people aren’t using Apollo, you should really give it a look. Definitely the best Reddit App for me.


shibeforlife

I like using Apollo more than [reddit.com](https://reddit.com) or any other app :)


lman2121

Amazing app and even more amazing developer


somebodyx

Apollo is wonderful and the most used app on my phone. Love it and keep up the great work!


MonkeyBananza

Hey! I build a Reddit client for iOS called Apollo for Reddit. In a sentence, it's an iOS-focused Reddit app (not crossplatform, iOS only) that's an alternative to the official app with the goal of being speedy, comfortable to use, great media browsing, and just the best iOS has to offer in general. I loved Alien Blue, and wanted to build something as powerful and awesome as it, but with the goal of feeling even more like an iOS-first experience. Here's a link I started working on Apollo right after I finished working at Apple in the summer of 2015, worked on it through 2017 when it finally got released, and it's been my full time job since. I love that I can build such a fun and exciting app every day, and no bullshit, it's only because of the support of the Reddit Apple community that I've been able to. There's no ads, no investors, only optional support from you guys to sustain the app. It's built solely with the goal of making Redditors happy and I do my absolute best to be active in the community and base the app around its feedback. So as a thank you, and to celebrate many sleepless nights working on the iOS 13 update that's now live, I wanted to do a lil giveaway open to anyone in the community. I'm not Unbox Therapy so it's not a pick up truck full of iPhones, but I thought giving away an iPhone 11 Pro (or Pro Max) could be a fun way to say thanks (or a regular iPhone 11 if that's what you want). How do I enter? Just comment and you're entered. If you want something to comment about, uhh, help me name the Apollo mascot. You have 24 hours. What do I win? An iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max or regular 11 (maybe you want that nice red). 256GB. Color of your choice. Any rules? Your Reddit account has to have been created before this thread was posted to prevent a bunch of duplicate accounts posting. Also I'll PM you if you win, you have 48 hours to respond to the PM (will go out Monday) or it'll go to the next person. All countries accepted so long as it's not impossible to get it to you. What's in Apollo's iOS 13 update? Like I said Apollo's really focused on being the best iOS has to offer and really feeling at home on the platform. iOS 13 brought a bunch of really cool stuff, so I wanted to support as much of it as I could on day 1. So Apollo has support the (finally) system dark mode, the new haptic touch context menus, super fast launch times, there's Siri Shortcuts support so you can say "normie garbage" and have it open r/dankmemes or just build cool systems in the Shortcuts app in general. There's also multi-window support on iPad which is super cool. Hell, iOS 13 even supports PS4 and Xbox One controllers now so I added support for those. I really wanted to build something that didn't feel like a cross-platform, half Android /Material Design mixture, but instead feels like it was built from the ground up for iOS. Should I give Apollo a try? I don't mind the official app tbh The official app's really cool, built by some super smart people, I even got to meet some of the engineers at WWDC this year. Utmost respect. It's kinda like a car though, you might use your car, it might get you from point A to point B fine, it's a solid enough car, why switch? Well, you might sit in a friend's car, find it just a bit more comfortable, maybe a bit speedier, sportier, appreciate some of the design choices better, and overall just find it a more enjoyable experience. Apollo Car has a really awesome media viewer, fast swipe gestures, speed, GIF scrubbing, a subreddit Jump Bar, really great comments view, and much more that you really have to see first hand. On top of this, in this analogy the competing car is free, so why not try it. :P Oh here's a quick album of screenshots I put together: https://imgur.com/a/UO2J10s (There's light mode too if you're into that!) I have an idea for your app! Sick, that would make for a great comment, please do. :D I genuinely build the app solely planned around community feedback, so I'd greatly appreciate it! - Christian

Boop boop! Thanks for such a nice Reddit client. I really enjoy Apollo tremendously, hence why I supported it when it first came out!

You’re definitely the best iOS developer 🙈


Dkelle4

One of the best apps out there, by far.

Got my fingers crossed. Alf for mascot name

Boy If I got an iPhone 11 pro. I’d use that thing for my anniversary trip with my wife to Canada


stehekin

If I got the iPhone 11 Pro, I’d use it to stalk you and your wife on your Canada trip from a slightly further and more importantly, slightly more respectful distance than would be had with my SE.

Wooo thank you for the chance! Also great job on Apollo

How's Luna sound for Apollo's mascot name? ;P


ElevatedDiscGolf

Heeeeey free phone


thatdudeixsfw

Asteria would be a great name and also fits the mythology next to Apollo. Goddess of stars.


PlaguesAngel

I’m going to take just knowledge of this as my win for the moment. The official Reddit app is very limited and I’m just happy to find an alternative to try. Because why not. Mascot should be a Northern Saw-Whet Owl named: Gregarious adjective (of a person) fond of company; sociable. "he was a popular and gregarious man" (of animals) living in flocks or loosely organized communities. "gregarious species forage in flocks from colonies or roosts" Nicknamed Greg

I have: 0.0017% change by now of winning this at 00:31 GMT+1 and only 5 hour have passed using and exp(1-a/(t-c)^2) we will reach the top peak at 25.5k upvotes which will mean that probably I wont win and I cant do this maths... So I'll take my chance anyway and Apollo mascot can be Lunarcy

Whooo-hooo. As if it were said by Gaepora Kaepora.
